Shortcut Keys for Export Slices?


Recommended Posts

I'm really enjoying the Export Persona for flexible exporting in a variety for formats, but some basic UX has soured my experience quite a bit for the last couple of years. 

My project involves a number of different Affinity Designer files with a variety of Export Slices. I've been pleased with the tools, but I find the UX for exporting slices pretty annoying every day. 

- Move mouse to top left to switch to the Export Persona
- Move mouse to the right, find the Slices Tab
- Move mouse to the bottom right to the Export Slices 
- Click past the 'overwrite files' warning
- Mouse top left - back to Designer Persona

All of this could be a keyboard shortcut. The 'continuous export' causes a bunch of problems too, and I think it disables between sessions. 

The File>Export option isn't helpful either, as it seems to pretend the Slices and Export Persona don't exist. 

It's very rare that I'd praise Blender's UX over Affinity's, but its ability to right click any button and assign a keyboard shortcut makes a huge difference for clumsy UX for repeated tasks. 

If you ever add a shortcut setting, or add the Export Slices as something you can add to the menus, it would be an amazing help for those of us that rely on it.
